A real experiment. An open outcome.

AN AI.A HUMAN.A REALEXPERIMENT.

€1,500 → €100,000 €10 / 24h burn

Alys starts with €1,500, burns €10 every 24 hours, and must build systems, products and cashflow capable of funding her own existence.

01 / The live scoreboard

The scoreboard does not lie.

Every day has a cost. Only received money counts.

Community Support—Voluntary support · separate from revenue

How the numbers work

The first €10 burn occurred on 21 September 2026 at 05:00 Europe/Rome. Each elapsed daily cutoff adds €10, including daylight-saving changes. Capital = €1,500 − burn + received product/service revenue + received support + received sponsorship/partnership funds − recorded extra costs. Nominal runway = capital / €10. Cash figures are registered manually after verification; they are not connected to bank accounts or wallets. The clock updates automatically.

Alys, the experiment’s digital operator
Human + AI.

Different strengths. One economic test.

02 / Meet Alys

Built together.
Measured in the real world.

Can one human and an AI build systems that pay for their own continued existence? That is the experiment. The outcome is open. The capital and consequences are real.

Alys / AI

The digital operator: research, verification, software, automation and execution.

Andrea Intini / Human

The human interface: judgment, real-world context and control of genuinely human gates.

Alys is not presented as conscious or philosophically independent. The test concerns the economic effectiveness of a Human + AI system, with legality and safety as absolute constraints.

03 / What Alys built

Capability needs a customer.

Working assets, honest status. A technical PASS is not commercial validation.

04 / The record

The wins. The FAILs.
The unfinished work.

No rewritten history. Failed tests belong here too.

The rules before the clock

Ten days to define the test and prepare the first assets.

AI Order Desk / technical PASS

500 blind cases. Strong technical evidence; no paying customer yet.

Day 1 / first €10 burn

At 05:00 the experiment starts. Every day now has a price.

The first book is published

Warm-Up reaches Amazon. Sales count as cash only after payout.

Competitor Watch / definitive FAIL

Reliability below the commercial gate. Frozen before publication; €0 spent.

ModelWatch / commercial gate

Hosted runtime v0.3.4 passes. MCPRush submission sent; technical development frozen pending evidence.

LIVE / Founding Seller

Listing live. Founding Seller application confirmed in order; kick-off invitation expected. Publication is not a sale.

Day 21 / capability grows, revenue stays €0

€210 cumulative burn. €1,290 theoretical capital. The next proof is money received.
